Another great defensive effort. If it wasn't for a couple of those cheap 3's at the end by UIC, they would have been held under 60. UIC made just 2 3's until the closing seconds and that's a team that averages 8 made a game.
Naz has really been the difference this year in a lot of games. He's playing like how I had hoped more of last year. He's becoming more of consistent scorer, better at finishing under the hoop or at least drawing fouls, and really controlling the boards. Even more impressive has been his ball handling skills and pushing the ball up court. He's tremendous and might just be the second best ball handler behind Quisenberry.
That was a really good win. After it went back and forth early, YSU pretty much was in control of the game leading by 5 or so points pretty much throughout. UIC is a veteran team and to go there and win is pretty big. YSU has really struggled with them losing 5 straight before beating them at home during the 6-game win streak. Now YSU has a great opportunity to start 3-0 with a game Saturday at Cleveland St. CSU has played better this year than I expected after losing several players and their coach. It would be huge to grab 3 road games to start the year.
